Does anyone remember "George the Forge" He was the blacksmith who had a forge opposite the church in Gedling, He used to come up to the school and give demonstrations of his trampoline skills, we were told that he was an ex-circus person, I remember going to his forge and watch him shoeing a horse, not long after that he disappeared and the forge was pulled down. I also remember the big horse chestnut tree at the front of Susan Leach's house/dairy at the bottom of the twitchell, where we used to collect the best conkers.
